Question : I can't seem to pass gas but I have been burping all day. My stomach hurts and the burping provides temporary relief. I've running a fever all day and my heart rate is slightly elevated. What's the cause of this?

Brief Answer:
Acid reflux likely. Needs management.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. it appears you have an acid reflux problem causing this bloating and burping. If you have constipation , that might be adding up to your symptoms.

Tum salone wont help the symptoms. A complete diet and lifestyle modifications and medications are needed here. Lose weight. Eat small frequent meals. Avoid fatty and spicy meals. Avoid chocolates, tomatoes sauces. Avoid processed and canned products. Prefer fiber and fresh fruits and vegetables. Keep you Body mass index below 25. Drink at least 3 litres of fluids in a day.

Fever needs to be recorded as well as the pulse. If the fever persists and pulse stays higher than 100 then get an ekg and some blodo work up to find the focus of infection. Right now all you need is management of these reflux issues. Do the above mentioned modifications and take some motility enhancing medications like metoclopramide or domperidone, take some antacids like nexium and if there is some constipation use laxatives.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
